    It has some of the most accurate hacking logic.

    The plot on the other hand I disliked.

      Funny enough, I learned terminal commands initially on a green on black monitor. I can’t use the terminal unless I set it to green on black. My brain literally won’t remember any terminal commands for any flavor of Linux until I change the color scheme.

    Heh, I remember tinkering with linux waaay back in the day. I had a shitty Slackware install I farted around with, and something I was doing required bootstrapping gcc. I clung to that man page like it was the last lifeboat off the Titanic, but by the end when it worked I felt exactly like this.

      In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.

      Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I’d followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))

        Haha, yep. My very first linux install I had to do similar because I had a fucky video card that X11 didn’t support natively, ultimately I had to, er, acquire a commercial X server that did support it to make it work. It was a mess.

      That doesn’t surprise me. North Korea has their own as well.
